How does Chapter 12 characterize the nature of saints, particularly in comparison to God?

Chapter 12 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra presents a unique perspective on the nature of saints. While it states that the incarnation of God is for protecting the virtuous and destroying the wicked, saints are described as distinct. According to this chapter, saints treat the virtuous and the wicked as equals, with no sense of who is great or small. Their compassion is so profound that their hearts "break into pieces with compassion" for the distressed, and they prioritize setting the wicked on the right path. In this sense, Chapter 12 suggests saints are even greater than God, as they are portrayed as the "Agastya... for the ocean of worldly existence" and the "sun for the darkness of ignorance," working to reform all souls.
